DeSantis receives endorsements from 36 Puerto Rican leaders

In a big boost from an ever increasing voting bloc in Florida, Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis received endorsements from 36 elected leaders in Puerto Rico, including the country’s Congresswoman, Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House.

The announcement was made Saturday during an event with State Representative Bob Cortes and leaders from the Central Florida Puerto Rican community.

“I am proud to receive the endorsement of so many leaders from Puerto Rico. I have always stood with the Puerto Rican community, both on the island and here in Florida,” DeSantis said. “As Governor, I will work every day to ensure we help the island fully recover and create more opportunities for those living in Florida to succeed.”
